Hi!
Here's another chapter to my fanfic, which happens to be AU.
Thanks to Yanza, BratCat, and Charmane for their reviews which are really appreciated. Also, thanks to odin13 for help me out with a few kinks in my story!
I still don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Bleach, so yeah please don't sue me.
"Spend the night? Here?" Orihime stared at a cheery Matsumoto, an irritated Hitsugaya and two guys who looked just as confused as she was.
"It's okay with me, but….why my-Ow!"
Matsumoto attacked Orihime in an embrace, "I'll take that as a yes! I knew you wouldn't turn me away! That's what I love about you, Orihime!"
Matsumoto waltzed into the apartment, momentarily forgetting all about Hitsugaya, Kurama, and Yusuke.
"Now that that's settled, can I take a bath? I really need one," Matsumoto rambled on.
"Oh. The bath is this way," Orihime mumbled, her attention on the newcomers especially Yusuke.
"Why don't you take yours first?"
"Huh? I already took one. Ow, ow, ow! You're hurting me, Rangiku!!"
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Matsumoto turned towards Kurama and Yusuke, "This cutie right here is Kurama and that guy next to him is Yusuke, he's pretty cool," Matsumoto said cheerily.
"Hi! I'm Inoue Orihime," Orihime said sheepishly.
"Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home," Kurama said politely.
"Yeah, thanks," Yusuke said shortly, not missing the look of de ja vu that Orihime seemed to be giving him.
"Oh, you're welcome!"
{Living Room}
Yusuke, Kurama, and Hitsugaya made themselves comfortable around Orihime's coffee table. Yusuke was slightly irritable with the constant looks of de ja vu that every person he met here was giving him. It was like someone was walking around this town that could pass as his twin or maybe a cousin. Kurama gave Yusuke a calculated look which Hitsugaya didn't miss.
"So what has Koemna-sama informed you about already?" Hitsugaya muttered before taking a sip from his luke warm tea.
"That an ex-shinigami, Aizen, is planning on overthrowing the soul society, obliterating this town in his attempt. Oh and his army is a bunch of soul suckers," Yusuke answered shortly.
'He's very similar to Kurosaki, maybe more rash and definitely more dangerous,' Hitsugaya commented silently to himself.
"What exactly are we going up against?" Kurama asked, ignoring Yusuke's short and angry description of the current situation.
"Arrancars. You guys do have some sort of knowledge about hollows, right?" Hitsugaya asked, hoping they wouldn't need as much of an explanation as Kurosaki.
"Well, the toddler said that hollows are human's that have lost their souls while in….what ever that place is called," Yusuke stated.
'Has no respect authority either,' Hitsugaya grumbled silently in his mind.
"Limbo. From what I've learned, hollows have classes sort of like our demon classes," Kurama added.
"Yes, well the basic version of the mission is since Aizen has been in Huenco Muendo , he's been able to create a various amount of effective arrancars. We're not entirely sure how many he has in his command," Hitsugaya explained. He had a feeling that Kurama would get it with out much explanation and Yusuke seemed like fight now, ask questions later type.
"That certainly is a problem."
"You shinigami are no better than the stupid toddler! Why the hell did I even agree to this in the first place?" Yusuke growled, "And yes, I do refer to the great Koemna-sama as toddler," Yusuke stated in response to Hitsugaya's disapproving look.
'Straight forward, very good quality but also a weakness.'
"Please excuse, Yusuke. He loves to play hero and complain all the way through," Kurama said lightly.
"What was that fox?" Yusuke snapped.
"Nothing, my lord," Kurama responded.
"Whatever."
"So what exactly are you two? You don't have a shinigami's reiki," Hitsugaya asked. The files he had received only had the very basic of information.
"We're demons," Yusuke answered.
Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow in confusion. According to what was known in the Soul Society, Reikai was the ruling force against demons: their equivalent to hollows in the Soul Society.
"Well, actually, we both sort of half demons, by different means," Kurama answered.
"What?"
"I'm a mazaku demon. It was dormant in my blood or something like that," Yusuke answered as best he could.
"I'm a kitsune or more a kitsune's soul in a human body," Kurama answered.
Hitsugaya stared in confusion, in all his life as a shinigami, he has heard and seen the craziest things but this definitely took the cake.
"How are two demons working for Koemna? I thought…,"
"Correction. We don't work for Koemna anymore," Yusuke stated sourly.
"What? If you're not working for Koemna, why are you two here?" Hitsugaya asked, now thoroughly confused.
"Well, despite the fact that we're not working with Koemna anymore, we still do have good relations with the ruler of Reikai," Kurama answered.
"Speak for yourself, fox boy," Yusuke growled, " Koemna's dear ol' daddy fired my ass," he added shortly.
"You see Yusuke used to be human until his fight with Sensui, the spirit detective before him, then his demon blood awoken," Kurama said shortly, trying to help the young taicho's confusion.
"What? How do you go from human to demon?" Hitsugaya muttered.
"It's a long story that is completely besides the point. All you need to know is that we're on your side," Yusuke grumbled.
"Yes, our pasts aren't important. You'll just going to have to learn to have trust in us," Kurama added.
Hitsugaya quirked an eyebrow in confusion and suspicion, he didn't know whether he could trust them or not. All he knew is that they had experience and that was something the Soul Society could use at the moment.
Well that's the end of this chapter!
Hope you enjoyed it!
